Eva, Chavira dominate ‘Desperate’ finale; Boerne wedding on E!

San Antonio’s two “Desperate Housewives” stars – Eva Longoria and Ricardo Antonio Chavira – were front and center in a deadly twist on the series’ season finale.

Did you watch Sunday night? Tony Plana (“Ugly Betty”) — who told me once that San Antonio was a favorite anniversary stop for him and his wife – also starred as a despicable man from Gaby’s (Longoria) past.

He played stepfather Alejandro, who sexually abused Gaby when she was a teenager and who has haunted her memories into adulthood.

She thought he had died, but in the finale, she learns he is very much alive and is the mysterious man who has been stalking her.

To defend herself, she buys a gun and takes some serious shooting lessons. When she finally confronts him, she points the gun at him, brings him to his knees and forces him to admit what he’d done to her as a child. She then orders him to stay far, far away from her. It’s a moving scene and Longoria plays it beautifully.

Later, however, in a chilling reunion in her home, he commences to attack Gaby. . .until Carlos (Chavira) wallops him with a candlestick.

The season ends with the “Housewives” sharing dinner after they inexplicably help the couple hide the body (even though more than likely Carlos would have been exonerated considering he was attempting to rescue his wife).
